FPV night strikes target Israeli troops, with Jon Elmer

You are watching and listening to the electronic inifatada. I am John Elmer. This is the resistance report on day 972 of the genocide in Gaza and day 95 of Hezbollah's defense of South Lebanon. We start with the maps as always. This week the Israeli military announced what we have been tracking on this program for the last number of weeks and that is uh pretty significant troop withdrawals from the south. Um the 146th division has left uh the western sector. That's where we were watching them empty their bases out uh in Albiada uh just north of Nakura there on the western coast that you see above the blue line. Uh there's operations in Bintage Bale this week and to the north in Hadatha and then up on the uh Galilee panhandle if you follow it across up to the Bowfort Castle which is up near Yahmar uh that you see north of Matula there. Uh we'll get more into that as the show goes on. If we look at the next map, you can see where the Israeli military's uh genocidal zone is. This is the uh ethnic cleansing zone that Israel has promised um to leave people with nowhere to return home to. Um they're not fighting Hezbollah. They are destroying civilian homes because of resistance operations. Um those oper those destruct demolition uh uh operations are also have been curtailed over the last week. We'll see if that holds. There is a lot of battlefield adaptation on both sides going on. So we don't want to make any uh claims that will hold for uh in perpetuity. But what we're seeing in these last uh 7 days is um a significant withdrawal of uh engineering vehicles as well. There's more than 60 villages that are in that targeted zone. And that zone, just to reiterate, that does not mean Israeli military control. Um it's the areas that Israel's bombing and shelling. um and in some of the areas uh hand carrying uh or humping on uh armored vehicles, explosives like they did in Gaza to destroy civilian homes because they fail on the battlefield. Uh and that is a consistent trend that we have been tracking now for nearly a thousand days. Um let's look at the next map. This is also this is from the Institute for the Study of War, which shows a little bit more uh accurately where the Israeli military is not. That yellow line is the line uh that Israel declared uh that they were that was their operational line. You can see the Latani River in the north uh there. That is um supposed to be the entire area south of the Latani is under evacuation orders. There's a million plus people displaced um and thousands being killed. more than 3,500 killed, more than 10,000 wounded uh including 160 paramedics um and first responders, which is just um deepens the criminality of Israel because of course those civil defense and first responders are truly the best of us uh to be in the war zone and to be the only people in the war zone that are there to help. Um so just really uh egregious criminal acts by Israel. Many of them we've watched on camera. Double tap strikes. Um so that has continued. There's 60 villages like I said in that zone that Israel is attempting to demolish. We could take a look at the next map which is a little more detailed and we can see all the areas that we're going to cover on this program from the western coast. The Israeli military base just below the blue line there, Rash uh Hanikra uh was targeted. Uh Israeli bases along the blue line in the central area, Zarit. We're going to see those bases targeted. um going up the Pal Galilee panhandle up to the Boowfort Castle which I will finish this program on uh Israel's photo op in the castle made international news this week. Um somehow they know that they can do that despite the fact that we just listened to an excellent interview from Ahmed Nhar in Gaza. Uh and Gaza doesn't even get uh a news article let alone uh international headlines like Israel's photo op uh got. You can also see in the center pretty much in the center of that map, Hadatha. [snorts] Uh that is going to be an area where we are going to start this week. Uh let's look at number five. Video number five. Um this is an 18hour battle uh spread over two days and it's uh really the first time we've seen fighters on the ground in this uh in these videos. These fighters are saying that they're waiting for uh vehicles that they detected on the road moving north um from Rashaf up the Rashaf road to Hadatha. You can see the sniper there with his uh Dragunov sniper rifle getting ready. Scenes that remind us uh of what we saw in Gaza. Here we're seeing an M113. This is the uh uh robot operated, remotely operated uh armored personnel carrier dropping off explosive ordinance. We covered these extensively in Gaza, these robot bombs. Um they're using them to demolish houses. And here we see the fighters together getting their uh appropriate weaponry prepared, their RPG7s with their PG7VL warheads, which is the same warhead that we're seeing on the uh uh the quadcopter drones. That's that PKM machine gun uh that we're seeing in fighters moving. Um these are explosive devices that Hzbala's OPSAC doesn't want us to see, but are planted alongside of the road. Um and the fighters say to each other that they are waiting for each other. Um it's uh the fighter says these explosive devices were planted by us in case the enemy's tanks try to advance. Um the fighter says to the other fighter what do you want to say? Um and the fighter says the bulldozers and the tanks are outside. Here you see the Radwan unit force. This is special forces. You can see the emblem on their uniforms there. the Radwan forces named after Hajradwan and Madmia uh who created those forces. And here the fighters are outside confronting at 8:45. Up on the top corner you can see the beginning of an Israeli incursion into Hadatha. This is the fourth attempt that they have the Israeli military has tried to uh take Hadatha uh and it's being repelled here again. Uh as of yesterday there's been nine uh attempts repelled. You can see the gunfire here. This is a firefight um against Israeli troops. And we're going to have audio here in a moment that you that last that you heard was air support using fighter jets uh as air support. Um the fighters say here yesterday um the fighters are in this clash here um that goes on for 18 hours there was more than seven rocket operations, nine anti-tank operations, three bulldozers destroyed. You can see the missile fire and rocket fire uh on the top of the screen through there. It's difficult to see um this operation, but this is really the first on the ground firefight footage that we have seen from Hezbollah. And just to give you a sense, in the last week out of 160 field reports, there was only two firefights uh in the entire week. So, the Israelis don't want the smoke. They don't want to fight um they don't want to fight Hezbollah. Here the fighters are saying here yesterday the clashes were taking place on this road. They tried to advance and we blew up three bulldozers. Uh, and we chased the fourth bulldozer and this uh and the fighter says um uh that they're going to take us and show us the bulldozer here. So, we're going to go with these fighters down the road. And there you see the D9 armored bulldozer disabled there from one that's one of the four bulldozers that were targeted. Uh this fighter takes you down the road and he says, "Look at what we did. these weak Israelis, this bulldozer can't even move anymore. It can't advance. It's we crushed it under our feet. Uh and then he says, "Whoever wants to come after it, we're going to sit here and wait for you." Um and then they quote Nasra saying, "You will have no tanks left." Which Nasalla said, uh before the invasion of Lebanon coming out of Gaza, uh and the fighters here add uh not just tanks, but also bulldozers. We added that, he says. Um and then he again quotes Nasra as saying that we will return home. All the people of the south will return home with your heads held high. The entire land will be liberated. So uh the defense of Hadatha is still ongoing. Like I said last night there was the ninth attempt on it. Um and still um the Israeli military unable to take the town. Um they just pull away. They pull out every time that there's um contact. They basically pull out and call in air support, which is what we saw in that video previously. Okay, let's take a look at number six because uh major targets this week along the border, the Israeli military bases along the border using these firsterson view quadcopters. This is a second one, a two quadcopter strike. The first strike killed a soldier. The Israeli military said she was running away and this and the drone caught them. Here's uh a a utility vehicle also running away and getting caught and hit by the drone. Um and this is on uh the base near Shomera in the central uh in the north central area of Israel. You can see that strike and we can see in the next footage uh still we got a battle damage assessment from the Israeli military which is very odd. They uh military censorship makes reporting on this uh almost absurd. Um but this battle damage assessment, this photograph came from uh from this base. And in the article, the core of the article was about um the people on this base and living around this base saying that um when they're anonymized all the time, you don't say, Israel doesn't say the locations that all of these places are struck, you have to figure them out. Um that they're being ignored. Um and so they wanted their story told and so they took some photos of the battle damage assessment of this vehicle uh upturned upside down. Uh two were wounded there. So three casualties in that attack on that single base earlier in the week. Again, all these operations you're going to see are all from the past week. Let's take a look at number eight. This is on the coast. This is on the coast. Uh they're going to hit the Rash Hanikra base that's on the other side of Rash Rash Nakura. Uh is the Lebanese side of the border. This is a naval uh base, Israeli naval command base. And you can see the drones catching up here to uh a truck inside a car inside the closed military zone of the base strikes it from behind. And this is also going to be a multiple uh drone strike uh on this particular position. So the car is hit there. And then you're going to see the battle damage assessment as this second uh FPV drone comes up the same roadway. There you can see the spot where it was struck. Hezbollah is showing that handy for us. The crater uh where the strike was. Um and you're going to see off to the side some burning here. and it's going to go to the parking lot and strike another vehicle. Again, hitting [snorts] these soft vehicles on the military bases, something that we've seen them do particularly um in recent weeks. There you can see the burning uh from the strike as well. So, this is on the western coast. The Israeli military is largely pulled out of here. As I said on the opening, the 146th Division pulled out of this sector. Uh when we started these reports 13 weeks ago, there was five Israeli divisions in Lebanon. Today, there is now two. And the Israelis take time before they they don't just announce when the soldiers leave. So, we've observed the fact that they pulled out. Here comes the Humvey. Targets in on the Humvey and a direct strike on the Humvey. Um yeah, so we'd known we showed o over the last few weeks uh emptied forward bases, emptied positions, the artillery position in Albayada Baya um emptied out uh we saw the flag uh lowering ceremony that Hezbollah executed with the drone strike on the Israeli flag. Those were all obviously pointed to the fact that there was no more Israeli presence uh or just a skeletal presence in that area. Um and the Israelis confirmed it this week. Let's go to the next one is also on a base. This is the Manara outpost. You can see this is uh a major uh they have a lot of technology on this uh outpost that we watched get hit over and over again in the early stages of the war in Gaza when Hezbollah was a support front. You're going to see the drone uh hone in here on a light armored vehicle. And again with the PG um 7VL, this is going to destroy this vehicle. These hits are 100% destruction rate uh with the type of weapon that they are using. Uh let's take a look at number 10 here. We're going to hit some Iron Domes. Uh Iron Dome launchers. There you see it uh in the right on the screen there. um multi-million dollar launcher with multi-million dollar uh interceptor missiles inside it. It's going to do a little stroll around the a little recon stroll to see that there are multiple launchers here that are going to get hit. This is drone number one coming up beside it here and targeting directly this missile firing unit for the Iron Dome launcher. If it's loaded uh and it's totally destroyed, you're looking at three plus million dollars for each one of these strikes. That's the first one. So, this is FPV number two. Following it up, you're going to see the battle damage assessment in the bottom left corner there from the first strike. There it is. Hasba shown it to us. And this second drone is going to go around and pop the other one. So, both missile firing uh units uh on this base. uh are destroyed. There's only three or four per uh per battery. So, um these are leaving a a mark. We're going to see in the next video um one of the positions abandoned. They didn't even replace the launchers um that were struck. So, you hear you come in again. The FPV drone does not care that you have blast walls set up around it. They just fly around it. Those were set up for anti-tank guided missile strikes. So destroying that one. And then one uh next one is in um this is in the central area at the banet barracks. Um this is the headquarters for the 91st uh Galilee division. So two of the divisions that are left, the 36th division and the 91st division. The 91st is a territorial division. There you can see five missing interceptors there. You can see the two maybe it's four missing interceptors there. $100,000 each for a Tammer uh interceptor. And is Israel has said that they have been using the Iron Dome to shoot down um to shoot down these quadcopters, but uh I mean this would be a good time to shoot it down and it doesn't seem to be able to do that. One more um also on the western sector uh at the Jalal Alam base here. Again, you can see it flying over the wall. So now we're inside Israel. So you can see the dual launchers there. Um this is one of 19 uh missile firing units that Hasbollah has destroyed since this war um began. This just this round of the war began. Um so you just watched I don't know let's say $12 million in iron domes be destroyed in that last uh minute or so. Uh let's take a look at 13. Because these outposts along the border, we've constantly watched these borders be like complete ghost towns. There's these are supposed to be functioning borders. They're supposed to be um supplying a rear supply for the frontline troops. And you can see they're just there's never any soldiers visible in any of these bases. So the bases are not functioning um the way that uh they're intended to function. So here they're going to go into the mess tent and deliver this into the mess tent and saying where are you? Uh we're waiting for you to come to emerge from your holes. They say there uh but this is into the mess tent in this particular base. Um the bases are basically empty. You can see that is empty uh as well. The next one is um at the base uh of the Galilee panhandle. This is Avi Vim uh base. And you're going to see in this one, I reported a couple weeks ago that Israel is putting 158,000 square meters of netting to put up over everything. Volleyball net, fishing net, the whole deal. Look on the bottom right there. You're going to fly over the netting right there on the bottom left. That was supposed to be for covering that base and they hit inside the base housing on that operation. Um, so these hits are um I mean an anti-tank weapon will destroy that door. Some people ask why they hit the doors. Um, but the door will trigger it and send the molten dart inside uh of the base housing. Let's take a look at number 15. Uh, an attack on a Nom troop carrier here. And the Israelis this week admitted two strikes on Nmer troop carriers have penetrated the cabin um and killed and wounded soldiers inside. That one hits the remote controlled weapon station um the mounted machine gun on it, but as we go along uh I'll describe some of the operations that uh penetrated those tanks. Let's take a look at 16 uh excavators. Of the 160 field reports this week, 36 of them were FPV drone strikes. Um, two of them, three of them against excavators and D9. So that's what you're seeing here. Another one against a Hemet vehicle that we'll see uh coming up. So again, targeting these logistical vehicles that we're seeing less and less of um because they're just such um prime targets to be destroyed. So that was 16. We're at 17. Um, [snorts] this is a twin. This is a twin strike. Uh, if you look on the upper right there, you can see the drone. FPV drone 2 is recording FPV drone one. You can see it just below the um just above the house there. It's over to the side now. It's going to come swoop around in front of you. You can see it there. You can see the missile or sorry, the warhead. You can see uh the fiber optic spool. So that's a fiber optic spool and there's the tank hit um directly on those tanks on that tank. Can't see exactly where on the tank it strikes. Um but these are the kind of battle damage assessments that people were uh wanting to see to send a second drone to show you. And then this drone's going to fly over and show again the absurdity of these nettings uh before it goes looks for its own target. Um the the town here is again slated for destruction. Um but this is where the Israelis pull back to every time they try to uh advance to Hadatha uh up this uh Rash Hadatha road. And there, look at the tent. The the tent is completely the it's just a fortress of netting uh in front of that tank there. Not sure that's a successful strike, but if you can see the the level of absurdity that they're going to to cover these uh $6 million armored vehicles um that should be battle ready. You'd think if you were fighting an insurgency, if you are fighting a war, that your troops would occasionally need to run from into the tanks and uh mobilize, but obviously you can tell by this um that they're just dumping this fishing net on them. And uh it would take many mo many many minutes outside in danger to uncover the tank just to get moving on it that whole time. Um you're susceptible to a strike. Let's look at 18 because we got uh tomorrow did a nice little zoom in on here so we can see it a little bit better. Um you can see it the drone over to the right there and it's got its own white circle. See the red circle around the tank and the drone's going to come. You can see the spool in this part right here. You can see the spool and the warhead and that direct strike on the tank. the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade who I covered a couple weeks ago. He spoke this week and he said uh to his soldiers, "I know you continue to fight with strength and that you have had many difficult days with casualties in the 601st battal 601st and 9th battalions. So, they're very aware uh that they're getting hit hard. Uh and that commander uh spoke of it. Uh let's do 19. We've got another uh two drones here. We're seeing mini swarms here. Um this is in Devil. You're going to see a number of targets that the uh operator can choose from. The first strike is going to be on the Nmer troop carrier. And uh on this weekend uh Nmer troop carrier was penetrated by uh an FPV drone killing um a member that's a mobility kill on the tracks for sure. Um but the um so he's going to strike the tracks there. You can see clearly aimed at that. And then you can see the smoke for the battle damage assessment that people like. Uh and then we're the pilot here, the second pilot, uh is going to target one of these M113 robot bombs, the rolling bombs, the tank bombs, the uh vehicle-born IEDs that Israel created to destroy Gaza to use these old outofstock um armored vehicles um and destroy them. There's the Nomber that was hit and there is the robot bomb hit and destroyed. And these robot bombs are strictly for demolition. They're strictly uh war crime vehicle targeting civilians. Um so that are we at 20? Yeah, 20. Um, this this one was uh from the other day and I think it just got the wrong card cuz HZbala said this was a [snorts] um an Iron Dome launcher, but it's it's actually it's actually a water truck and you can see it directly hit. So, logistical vehicles like this, I'm pretty sure it's a water truck. It's covered here. You can see it's also covered by tactical netting, more appropriate netting than the volleyball net that we see uh all the time. But destroying these hemets again, if you can't fight without water on the front line. So uh these kind of strikes which have 100% destruction rate um are quality strikes. Let's look at 21 because this week there was a number of these. every week. They are we often just can't fit them all in um these rocket, drone, and artillery operations. But these are Pava cruise missiles. These are significant weapons that can carry a warhead of several hundred uh two to 300 um are usually a kilogram warhead and they can reach anywhere in Israel. We saw Iran fire these um land attack cruise missiles during um the operation true promises one and two. So this is Hezbollah launching three of those at the Galilee panhandle on Wednesday versus troops in Odessa versus troops in um Zabar al- Shakia. Um and these can be uh a very potent weapon. They're accurate. They can be uh guided in flight. Um and they carry a significant warhead. So um we saw a number of these operations this week. Missile and drone attacks this week, 28 of them compared to 36 FPV drone strikes. So we're talking uh FPV drones are only half of the drone strikes that uh are executed each week. Um, let's look at number 22 because we also saw uh Hezbollah escalate uh in response to the Israeli escalation and fired uh a barges of rockets all day long on uh Sunday uh and and late Saturday after the Israelis uh expanded their invasion in Lebanon and started attacking Tyur um the major city in the south. And the Israeli military knew it. They said this two days before. They said the IDF says uh it prepare it is prepared for the possibility of increased Hezbollah rocket fire on northern Israel as troops push deeper into southern Lebanon following the expansion of IDF operations and in accordance with situational assessments. The IDF is preparing for the possibility of major fire from Lebanese territory. And that in fact did happen. You're seeing 122 millimeter GRAD rockets here. These are the Kusha rockets as everyone calls them in this uh uh in Lebanon. These are the Kushias that uh the Israelis uh are trying to push back from the border. Um is their thin excuse for essentially their genocidal rampage against Shia in the south. Um but uh as Israel predicted the expansion uh took the targeting into Israel. uh Hzbala following a rules of engagement uh unhonorably following rules of engagement that Israel one would think doesn't deserve after two years of plus of genocide and observing no rules. Um but these are um Israeli cameras recording the the rocket strikes. Um so there was 89 rocket and artillery attacks in the past seven days since you last saw me. Most of these were concentrated uh on Saturday and Sunday. And I'm not even going to get into the ceasefire stuff because I just think it's uh at this point everyone that watches this show knows there's not going to be a ceasefire. And if there is, then the firing won't cease during it. So uh what the point of that is is uh a little bit beyond me. Um let's take a look at 24. This is Ababil drone. Um [snorts] they call Hezbollah calls it the Mercad. It's an ababil T uh drone that Iran uses. It carries a 30 kilogram warhead. So again, significant uh weapon that could be guided. This is a one-way attack drone. And sometimes when you're looking through the field reports and trying to pull data, um, it can be confusing if they're talking about an FPV drone or if they're talking about these one-way attack drones, especially since Hasbollah just last week started calling the FPV drones Ababil drones. So, uh, let's look at 25. We have audio in for the result of that strike, uh, that launch that we just saw. you came in on that base. Four soldiers wounded. Um, so there you saw it going out and there you see it coming in. Uh, the Abmobile drone [snorts] uh strike directly on the Beth Hell base. So accurate targeting, targeting of soldiers, not targeting civilians. The juxaposition between the way Hezbollah fights and the way Israel fights couldn't be more stark. Um, now the story of the week. Um, the Israeli military this week uh set moved forward. Um, we can look at this map uh that I brought just so you didn't have to remember from the beginning of the show. Um, but you can see Bowfort Castle over there on the eastern side above Matula. It's just above the um top of the Galilee panhandle. Um, and it's actually only 4 kilometers from the border. So, Israel made a big uh show of taking this castle that Hezbollah was not holding um to taking this castle which has a history. In 1982, the PLO defended this castle uh when the Israelis invaded um and a number of Israeli soldiers, six Israeli soldiers from the Golani brigade were killed in that operation. It's the Golani brigade this time that went up into the Bowfort Castle this week as well. And once they did that uh and took pictures, the international media treated it as if this was some kind of major victory, which is exactly the point of why Israel did it, trying to find fake victory images in an otherwise quagmire of uh resistance in South Lebanon. Uh [snorts] but the Bowfort Castle is a a 12th century crusader castle. Um, and we're going to see Hzbollah attacking the uh Israeli troops on the uh leadup to this in number 27. You're going to see a tank uh get struck here. Onethird of FPV operations this week targeted tanks. Um so again, they're they're targeting tanks at a lower rate, significantly lower rate than we saw early on in the war. But as I said, the Israelis have admitted to the penetration of the cabin of two Nom troop carriers. That's against the rear door. The Nom has the same hull as the uh Merk of a tank. So they're the same vehicle. So if you're penetrating the Nom, you're presumably uh capable of penetrating the uh Merkova 2. Um although they are lower um uh success rate for sure uh on those. So that that was 27. Let's look at 28 here. Um you can see the castle on the hilltop there. You could just see these um you know for military purposes holding this high ground is is somewhat useful. Uh it gives you fire control over um the valleys but it also in the age of FPV drones like we're watching right now. Um, it leaves you as a sitting duck sitting in this uh crusader castle without really much military uh advantage to holding it other than the symbolism. Um, you know, the Israelis are there's the tank there. Uh, it's going to get struck uh or the the building is going to get struck. You can see beside the tank, you can see the soldiers here, the little guys running. You can see them running into the building there. Two or three of them. And then the buildings that they're using for cover is going to get struck. Um, and then the second drone is going to follow up with this operation. There you can see the castle on the left there. And the approaches to them are challenging. Um, but they weren't um defended. So, Israel was able to um get up there, although they took significant casualties, at least 30 casualties getting up onto this hill uh getting struck by Hzbala. This follow-up strike is going to be on a um on a Humvey, but you can see the battle damage assessment from that first strike. So, clearly penetrated that building uh and struck a Humvey there. Um so yeah, the Golani brigade lost six soldiers uh trying to take the castle in 1982 against the PLO. Um and they have so far lost at least three trying to take it um against Hezbollah. Let's look at number 29 because we are seeing here uh soldiers being chased um chased down individual soldiers. Um three soldiers were killed in the uh over the weekend this weekend. Two of them were killed at night and we saw that. I've shown you a couple uh thermal imaging uh FPV drone strikes before. The Israelis denied that that was happening. There you can see the soldiers um fleeing, running away uh and getting struck through the bush there at the Bowfort Castle around the Bowfort Castle. This is on the leadup to it. Um let's take a look at number 30. again all around the castle. It leaves their vehicles in these approaches uh very susceptible. The map uh an inset map shows you just how how few roads there are passageways up to the photo op that uh Israel took uh really quickly and then fled. They did another one uh the other day where they did a handover uh a leadership handover of the 36th division uh and the Golani brigade and they did it on the castle but again ran away immediately after. This is going to be a shot right in the turret gap which is exactly where you want to strike uh on those uh vehicles according to uh the Kasam Brigades uh breakdown of where to target tanks that we saw in Gaza. Uh let's [snorts] take a look at 31 because here's the thermal uh imaging uh cameras. Here it is. Uh so this is Hezbollah's response to Israel's photo op. So this is them flying a thermal uh camera over the castle here the night after the Israelis said that they had taken it. Um and those photos went all around the world and it was literally the headline in languages all across the world. It's really uh it's bizarre to watch that happen when they're able to plant a story like that and it just gets picked up by everybody. No doubt. This is an interesting uh piece of geography. It's a uh 12th century castle. Um [snorts] but its military significance is extremely thin. But again, the flight over you don't see any soldiers. This is looks like we fly over when we fly over every other base uh or every other position. You just can't see any soldiers here. And now Hezbollah is going to show you on the inset there of the videos. This is the u the photo op videos. So they're showing the same places um with these thermal uh cameras. So the thermal cameras were denied all uh up until last night by the Israelis. They said they don't have that capability. Two Israeli soldiers were killed in night operations. Um and they still said that they that Hezbollah doesn't have this capability. Again, there was another inset there. You could see um flying through the castle. Um and then Hezbollah is going to taunt the Israelis here because Netanyahu made a big deal about this. Um he came and spoke before the military said that they had captured the castle. He was um real eager to say it in part because of the humiliation of their defeat in May of 2000 when they left this uh castle and Hezbollah immediately moved up and put flags on top of it. Although you can still in a couple of these shots you can still see the Israeli flags from their photo op. But that inset gives you an idea uh of what uh Israel was trying to show from uh these thermal uh from their photo op that we're seeing thermal here. So this capacity is effectively a night effectively uh operates as night vision capability and we don't know how many the Israelis have here. So Hezbollah says here we came we came and looked and couldn't find you and then they say uh share this so that the Galani brigade can see it. Um, Hezbollah said for their part on Monday, they said given the significant negative impact caused by the video footage broadcast by the Islamic resistance of its operations against the Israeli uh army on the and on the consciousness of the settlers inside the occupation entity. The army the Israeli army strove to obtain an image it could promote as a crushing victory hoping to soothe the fear of the northern settlers. The target was the historic al- Shafi al Shak castle in southern Lebanon which is only 4 kilometers from the border as Hzbollah pointed out. So this did not require um some long ground operation. It still took more than a week for the Israelis to get up to the castle. Um let's take a look at 32 because you're going to see these movements at night of these soldiers. The Israelis have moved all of their the mo the majority almost all of their operations of moving moving troops. They do it at night because of these drones. Um and that's what they thought was um their advantage the that they wouldn't be targeted at night. But there you see two soldiers picked up on thermal camera uh and the uh explosive devices delivered with the precision of a precision guided missile uh right into the group of soldiers. one soldier uh we're not sure if it was this operation um but two soldiers in separate incidents were killed um overnight by thermal uh armed FPVs uh let's look at 32 um and also the Nomber was penetrated and that was the shakad um battalion of the Gavadi brigade uh and the shakad battalion chief was injured in that nom penetration seven soldiers in the back which is the cabin uh were wounded or killed in that operation. There you see uh another soldier there uh struck by uh a thermal armed FPV drone that is presumably one of the others. Um didn't really match up to the field report, but the Israelis are delaying their reportings on some of these, which is uh consistent. Um are we on 33? 34. Uh, okay. This is a Nom troop carrier. And again, so we know that um it's difficult to penetrate these, but we now know that two of them have been uh and killed soldiers inside uh including um senior commanders. Four officers were uh wounded in the one strike. Um, yeah. And one of the soldiers that was killed, just a note, he's from the Ukraine. He moved to Israel six years ago. So, he'd been in Israel for six years. If you want a definition of a settler colony, many people uh have more experience uh as journalists reporting in the country, your correspondent included, that are longer than six years. Uh but that is what uh that is how long that soldier had been in Israel. and his funeral was very sparsely populated and people in Israel were upset by the look of that. But this has been the resistance report for day 972 of the genocide in Gaza and on day 95 of Hezbollah's defense of South Lebanon.
